The League Of Nations - 935 words
The League of Nations The League of Nations and
It's Impact on World Peace Through my studies and
research I have come to the following conclusion
about the League of Nations: despite all of
President Woodrow Wilson's efforts, the League was
doomed to fail. I feel this was so for many
reasons, some of which I hope to convey in the
following report. From the day when Congress voted
on the Fourteen Points, it was obvious that the
League had a very slim chance of being passed in
Congress, and without all of the World powers, the
League had little chance of surviving. On November
11, 1918 an armistice was declared in Europe.
Wilson saw the opportunity to form an
international organization of pea ...

Wilson And The League Of Nations - 899 words
Wilson And The League Of Nations The Versaille
Treaty, an agreement for peaceful terms among the
warring nations of World War I, was extinguished
by the insatiable desires of all parties involved.
Woodrow Wilson, an inflexible, idealistic,
righteous President was up against the vengeful
Allies. Each with their own imperialistic views,
conflicted as peace negotiations began. Wilson
wanting to make the world safe for Democracy
swooped into Paris to negotiate his Fourteen
Points, leaving the Republicans impotent state
back in the United States. Thus, Wilsons ideas
faced great opposition by the Big Business
Republican Party fearful he was going to run for
reelection and by the Allies whom were l ...

Ap Us History - 1,259 words
AP US History March 1, 1997 Period 4 Treaty of
Versailles: Who was at fault for its denial? The
Treaty of Versailles, which was a peace treaty
that called for the end of World War 1(between
Germany and the Allies), was defeated in the
Senate by an unknown alliance of two forces. The
two forces were President Wilsons all or nothing
attitude and the strong opponents of the Treaty in
the Senate. William Borah (Sen, Idaho), one of the
irreconcilables, brings out a clear weakness in
the Covenant of the League of Nations in his
speech to the Senate. The weakness is that will
any country really feel comfortable, or approve
of, another countrys government dealing with their
domestic affairs and conc ...

Arabisraeli Conflict - 981 words
Arab-Israeli Conflict The Arab-Israeli conflict
came about from the notion of Political Zionism.
Zionism is the belief that Jews constitute a
nation (or a people) and that they deserve the
right to return to what they consider to be their
ancestral home, land of Israel (or Palestine).
Political Zionism, the belief that Jews should
establish a state for themselves in Palestine, was
a revolutionary idea for the 19th Century. During
World War I, Jews supported countries that
constituted the Central Powers because they
detested the tyranny of czarist Russia. Both the
Allies and Central Powers needed Jewish support,
but Germany could not espouse Zionism due to its
ties with the Ottoman Empire, wh ...

Benito became a burning socialist. Mussolini had
huge goals of running a political machine based on
his own beliefs. Born in the poverty-stricken
village of Romagna, Italy, he was wild, nomadic,
and defiant as a young adult lived the life of a
bum. Showing fierce aggression at such a young
age, he was expelled from two schools for
knife-assaults on other students. His father a

Benito Mussolini was born on July 29, 1883 in
Predappio. The son of a blacksmith he was largely
self-educated. He became a schoolteacher and a
socialist journalist in northern Italy. In 1910 he

Italy's war in Libya. Soon after his release in
1912 he became editor of the socialist newspaper
in Milan, "Avanti!". When WWI began in 1914
Mussolini advocated Italy's entrance into the war
on the allied side and was expelled from the
socialist party. He then started his own newspaper

which later became the origin of the Fascist
Movement. In 1916 Muss ...

Bitter Rivals: Henry Cabot Lodge And Woodrow Wilson - 1,033 words
... nd the new superpower status of the United
States (Lafeber 314). Lodge grouped Wilson and
Jefferson together in their mutual willingness to
keep peace at all hazards (Widenor 203). While
Lodge may have been correct in his argument that
Wilson needed to back up American neutrality with
some use of force, Wilsons interpretation of
American neutrality leading up to World War I kept
America from war as long as possible without
compromising American national interests of trade
and security. The rivalry between the two
politicians escalated with Wilsons introduction of
his 14 Points for Peace after World War I. As
Wilson negotiated with other leaders of the
Entente Powers after the war, the P ...

By 1932 The Collapse Of Weimars Had Become Inevitable, Hitlers Triumph Had Not Discuss - 1,573 words
''By 1932 the collapse of Weimars had become
inevitable, Hitlers triumph had not'' Discuss
Without wanting to delve into the 'What if?'
school of history, the debate about Weimars
failure can become a vague one since there is so
much known about the period and so many factors
which could have effected the outcome of Weimars
history. Some argue its collapse was inevitable in
1919 others go right up to 1933, but what is not
certain was Hitler's triumph I would argue that
after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles the
collapse of Weimar was almost inevitable. From the
very beginning it was extremely hindered
economically by the treaty, and this caused
problems with inflation, industry, emplo ...

Causes Of World War - 1,410 words
Causes of World War Causes of World War Out of all
the wars that the world has gone through, none has
been more devastating as world war II. But what
caused this war? Well, world war II had six major
causes: anger over the Versailles Treaty, the
failure of peace efforts after world war I, the
rise of Fascism, the goals of Hitler, the
isolationism by America and Britain, and the
re-armament of Europe. This paper will go over
each of these causes individually and then draw
some conclusions about world war II. The first
cause of world war II was the intense anger over
the Versailles Treaty. Germany was very angry over
two things and the first of which was the many
territorial losses they had to ...

Creation Of Israel - 720 words
Creation Of Israel In 1917 Chaim Weizmann,
scientist, statesman, and Zionist, persuaded the
British government to issue a statement favoring
the establishment of a Jewish national home in
Palestine. The statement which became known as the
Balfour Declaration, was, in part, payment to the
Jews for their support of the British against the
Turks during World War I. After the war, the
League of Nations ratified the declaration and in
1922 appointed Britain to rule in Palestine. This
course of events caused Jews to be optimistic
about the eventual establishment of a homeland.
Their optimism inspired the immigration to
Palestine of Jews from many countries,
particularly from Germany when Nazi pers ...
